Patent CA-2138655-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STRAUSS JASON
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 1993-04-23
Abstract: The emergency, fail safe capacitive energy source and circuit is used in conjunction with an air damper actuator or a valve actuator. In particular, the capacitive energy source and circuit powers a fractional horsepower motor and both the motor as well as the capacitive energy source and circuit are completely contained within an actuator container of a relatively small size. The capacitive energy source and circuit include at least one high storage capacitor (rated 0.047 farads or higher) having a volumetric size not exceeding 30 cubic inches. Preferably, a bank of high value capacitors are utilized wherein the capacitors are coupled in series or parallel to power the AC or DC motor and associated circuitry. The capacitive energy source and circuit also includes a charging circuit coupled between the motor drive power source and the capacitor or bank of capacitors. A sensor is coupled to the motor drive power source and generates a control signal in the absence of power from the motor drive power source. A switch, controlled by the control signal, is coupled to the motor drive power source and is also coupled to the capacitor or bank of capacitors. The switch has a switched output coupled to the motor. The switch passes power from the motor drive power source to the motor in the absence of the control signal from the sensor and passes power from the capacitor or bank of capacitors in the presence of the control signal. In a preferred embodiment, the sensor is a coil of DC operated relay and the switch embodied by the relay contacts and is actuated by the relay coil.

Patent CA-2151876-A1 (CA)
Title: Sliding adjustable wrench
Inventor: CHAN DENNY Y
IPC: B25B13/14
Filed: 1995-06-15
Abstract: The conventional adjustable wrench uses a rotating worm gear which moves the bottom jaw either up or down. The way in which this adjustment is made in conventional wrenches is by directly rotating the worm gear using the thumb of the hand holding the wrench. In this invention, the worm gear is turned by a linear-to-rotary mechanism. Instead of rotating the worm gear, the user slides a knob along the handle of the wrench. This system assures a precise adjustment while providing ease of use and rapidity.

Inventor: ARDON MENACHEM TSUR
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 1995-09-28
Abstract: An arrangement for controlling a large time slot interchange (TSI) unit. The TSI unit is a single stage unit for interconnecting any incoming time slot with any outgoing time slot.  No blockage is incurred in such a single stage switch.  A plurality of module processors is used each for controlling a group of TSI slices, the size of the group being selected to match the capabilities of the module processor. The module processors communicate with each other in order to cooperate in setting up connections through the TSI unit.  Each module processor processes terminating, originating, incoming or outgoing processes for calls connected to the terminalsserved by the module processor.  Advantageously, a large non-blocking TSI unit is made available for serving a large switching system without incurring blockage. Moreover, the TSI unit and its complement of module processors can be arranged to grow in a cost effective manner from a relatively small unit to a unit that is near the largest size practical switching system.

The valve post of the ball valve is first passed through a tapered opening of a cylindrical valve sleeve and then fitted into the large diameter hole of the water-outgoing passage and fused therewith by ultrasonic wave.  The tapered opening of the valve sleeve has an inclined outer peripheral wall face and an inner peripheral wall face for snugly slidably abutting against the spherical face of the ball valve for angle adjustment thereof.  The other end of the valve sleeve is screwed with a threaded neck portion of a cylindrical sprinkling sleeve formed with multiple sprinkling holes by different angles.  The end of the sprinkling sleeve is formed with an inclined inner face for snugly contacting with the spherical face of the ball valve to complete the assembly.

Abstract: In order to detect the presence of a marker, an electronic article-surveillance apparatus includes a transmitting circuit coupled to a transmit antenna, a receiving antenna juxtaposed with respect to the transmit antenna, such that an electromagnetic signal is generated within a controlled area, the signal being received by the receiving antenna, such that when the marker is located within the controlled area, a is created in said electromagnetic signal and is picked up by the receiving antenna. The disturbance is the marker signal. An electronics module receives the electromagnetic signal picked up by the receiving antenna, and a feedback conduit, linking the electronics module with the transmitting circuit, can provide to theelectronics module an input to the transmitting circuit which controls the amplitude of the electromagnetic signal so as to maintain the marker signal at a substantially constant amplitude and shape. A detection module receives the marker signal and can analyze the marker signal in accordance with predetermined criteria. An alarm circuit is actuated by the detection module when the latter confirms the presence of themarker signal in accordance with the predetermined criteria.
